In reply to Jen. That's a common theme that I hear, about it improving. I so hope that will be the case for our Daniel!!

Yep, I have a kiddo with asthma. He is 12 now. It has gotten better with age. At least he can manage it now, but it is still a family effort to help him sometimes. Love YL oils and I lather them on for everything!!

Dewayne had asthma when he was a kid. He had some severe attacks of it. The older Dr Hollis told his mother to turn him upside down (seriously) at the first signs of an attack. Ethan had an asthma attack when he was 5. Dewayne picked him up and turned him upside down. It did seem to help clear his breathing passages for some reason. It gave us a little more time to get him to the ER.

We have RC here! Neither of my kids have ever had asthma, but Scarlet had a virus so bed she needed the nebulizer when she was a kid. It did make her hyper! They actually will treat bad coughs like asthma sometimes.
My friend’s son’s trigger is colds and viruses. She actually hates winter, because she will otherwise go 7-8 months without seeing her poor kids have attacks. New England is really rough for that.
